阅读理解专项练习50-36 A Like most English children, I learned foreign languages at school. When I made my first visit to the United States, I was sure I could have a nice and easy holiday without any language problem. But how wrong I was! At the American airport, I was looking for a public telephone to tell my friend Danny that I had arrived. An American asked if he could help me. Yes, I said, 1 want to give my friend a ring. Well, thats nice. Are you getting married? he asked. No, I replied, I just want to tell him I have arrived. Oh, he said, there is a phone downstairs on the first floor. But were on the first floor now, I said. Well, I dont know what you are talking about Maybe you arent feeling too well after your journey, he said. Just go and wash up, and you will feel a lot better. And he went off, leaving me wondering where on earth I was: At home we wash up after a meal to get the cups and plates clean. How can I wash up at an airport? At last we did meet. Danny explained the misunderstanding: Americans say to give someone a call, but we English say to give somebody a ring. When we say to wash your hands, they say to wash up. And Englishmen start numbering from the ground floor so the first floor is the second for Americans. 56.The writer went to America by ______.
